Looking for eclipse glasses in Iowa City?

Cardboard frames for solar eclipse glasses are stacked in the American Paper Optics factory in Bartlett, Tenn., on Wednesday, June 21, 2017. The company is one of many businesses, hotels, campgrounds and stores taking advantage of the total solar eclipse , when the moon passes between Earth and the sun. The moon's shadow will fall in a diagonal ribbon across the U.S., from Oregon to South Carolina.(Photo11: Adrian Sainz, AP)

From 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., the Iowa City Public Library will host a "Solar-bration" of the eclipse at 123 S. Linn St. in Room A for children. Participants will learn all about the event, as well as go outside to view it safely.

According to the Sciences Library, the partial eclipse will begin in the Iowa City area at 11:46 a.m. Monday and end at 2:37 p.m., lasting for two hours and 51 minutes, with the eclipse hitting its peak at around 1:12 p.m.

There is a lot of cloud cover in Iowa City, so it may be hard to view the eclipse. If the weather doesn't cooperate and the skies aren't clear, there will be live streams of the eclipse online at nasa.gov/eclipselive and on Press-Citizen.com.
